Your network isn’t just infrastructure—it’s the lifeline of your business, connecting every device, every application, and every person across your organization. That’s where the Tellabs FlexSym® Optical Network Terminal 224 (ONT224) comes in—a game-changing solution designed to elevate your network performance while simplifying management and future-proofing your infrastructure. The ONT224 can serve as a direct one-to-one replacement for traditional switches, letting you upgrade without disrupting your existing network setup.
Energize Your Network with High-Density PoE
Imagine powering 24 devices through a single unit with built-in Power over Ethernet (PoE), eliminating the need for extra power outlets or complex cabling. The ONT224 delivers up to 60 watts per port, enabling seamless connection for everything from IP phones and Wi-Fi access points to security cameras and IoT devices—quickly, cleanly, and efficiently.
Why this matters: Fewer cables, fewer power supplies, and less complexity mean faster deployments, lower costs, and a more manageable, streamlined network. Your IT team will thank you—and your end users will enjoy uninterrupted, high-performance connectivity.
Breakthrough XGS-PON Performance
The ONT224 is built on the latest ITU-T G.9807.1 XGS-PON standard, offering symmetrical 10 Gbps downstream and upstream speeds. That’s not just fast—it’s enterprise-grade speed designed for today’s bandwidth-hungry applications. Think video conferencing across multiple buildings, large-scale cloud storage transfers, and smooth streaming for hundreds of simultaneous users.
Why it counts: Slow or congested networks cost time, money, and productivity. With ONT224, your business gets a network that keeps up with its growth and lets your teams focus on what matters—not troubleshooting connectivity issues.
Simplified, Cost-Efficient Network Architecture
Traditional networks often rely on multiple switches, routers, and complex cabling, creating unnecessary complexity and ongoing maintenance headaches. The ONT224 changes the game. It allows you leverage the benefits of Tellabs Optical LAN while being able to reuse existing CATx cabling, meaning less rewiring and faster installation.
Why it’s unique: You get all the benefits of a next-generation network without tearing apart walls or overspending on infrastructure upgrades. Deployment is quicker, simpler, and more cost-effective—perfect for greenfield and upgrade projects.
Enterprise-Class Security You Can Trust
Protecting your data starts with a secure network. The TAA Compliant ONT224 comes with bi-directional AES-128 encryption and key rotation every 60 seconds, ensuring your data remains safe from unauthorized access. Centralized management through Tellabs Panorama™ PON Manager makes monitoring, configuring, and enforcing security policies across all your network endpoints easy.
What you gain: With robust, automated security, your IT team can focus on innovation instead of firefighting, and your business can confidently run critical operations over a protected network.
